The best part is at 1:02:xx when they are saying "that's not a face mask!" as Kunz's cage is completely sideways.

I'm not defensive, just showing the other side of the coin. Southwest metro was probably a better term, but you understood my point. Incidentally, two of the best Canadian overagers in NCAA right now are former recruits who switched after we pushed back their arrival. Rizzo and Halliday. We just have the policy/ability to make kids wait until they are dominating juniors before they come, regardless of where they are from.

Until the 5th year of eligibility cycles out, average age is skewed. And if you're a top program not picking up hired guns out of the portal with the 5th year, your loss. UND is all overage Canadians, and MN is all divas from Edina. Neither is true but both have an undeniable presence in the lineups.

Here's a thought. Since these teams don't play in 24-25, and new rules allow the exhibition game to be against fellow NCAA teams, they should schedule one another that way. Get it done Bob and Bubs!

Thomas, Chesley and Cooley were all between UND and MN. Then all three took penalties in a row after the tossed stick. Karma, poetic justice, etc.

Sent via DM In the meanwhile, this pairs great with the Benny Hill theme

Cruikshank's success at St Cloud should be cited to recruit against the Gophers. He was forced to play bottom 6 wing there when he's a top 6 center.

Starting the backup was a head scratcher, Motzko has some of that Lucia arrogance in him. The "best D in the country" didn't do the goalie any favors though. The announcers were wrong about so many things all weekend. Yes, it's nowhere near the biggest show in town, but there's gotta be better talent available in a major metro area. In the articles leading up Motzko said something about not watching the tapes, already knowing how North Dakota plays. Whether or not this was tongue in cheek, it showed on our PP because they had no idea to smother Gaber like seemingly every other team figured out. @Blackheartif you want my log in for Big Ten Plus to put these on your channel, let me know. Two instant classics, not quite the lore of "the timeout game", but the four minutes following the stick toss should be immortalized on YouTube for generations to come. Pitlick is going viral, just not in the way he thought he would. There was probably a ~35% chance it'd be a Sioux fan that caught it, and sure enough.

That hit on Schmaltz was so much more dangerous than Kleven's.

Get more shots on this goalie.

Looks like the ice is not improved over last night.

What's the home/away factor for pairwise? 0.8/1.2 or 0.9/1.1? EDIT: per Brad's tweet it's 0.8/1.2

That was a fun game to watch despite the outcome. Gophers are more talented and will be scary good when they gel better. DeRidder kept us in it and was the player of the game, but the Gophers took a lot of shots he had clean looks at; don't let the shot differential fool you. All-time bad call against Blake, Chesley slipped like EVERYBODY ELSE did tonight with how shoddy the ice was.

3M employees don't bother using their tickets.

Refs better not call anything iffy on us.

Schmaltz timed his fly-by screen perfectly on Gaber's shot.

Really liked Sidorski's hit on Nelson moments after the hooking penalty.

Both games are listed as available through the site/app, and it says only games on Big Ten Network (which neither game is) are blacked out.

James sitting is surprising.

YouTube just recommended this to me.

And now he's trying to help the very teams full of overagers he tried to handicap back in the day. What a weasel.

Onhockey.tv does NOT have it listed, so really hoping our guardian angel pulls through. If not, a monthly pass to Minnesota on Big Ten plus is $10.

Glad to see both coaches want to keep this series going.

The story of a U of Utah football player being offered 1 million by a collective to transfer to whatever school the collective represented is a good indicator of the direction NILs are taking.

On one hand, it sucks that midco screwed up and sent the wrong feed. On the other, it's unacceptable that NCHC/sidearm didn't confirm it was the right stream.
